Points to Ponder |  "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us_universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our  task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
- Albert Einstein
 Yet the eternal nightly show is one of nature's most subtle and moving experiences. It is a Spectacle that arrives slowly, changes graduall and then slips imperceptibly away, night after night, year after year, in utter silence.
 It is an experience our ancestors knew well, and it provoked in them, as it shoud in us, deep questions of mening, of origins and of destiny. The Invisible Universe ( Little, Brown)
Ronald Reagan to Mikhail Gorbachev: "If suddenly there was a threat to this world from some other species from another planet, we'd forget all the little local differences that we have between our two countries and we would find out once and for all that we really are all human beings on this Earth."
Mikhail Gorbachev: The phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously.
"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!" - Arthur Conan Doyle 1859-1930
Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes
less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines. -- R. Buckminster Fuller
There are four typs of people in this world.
-
There are people that make things happen. -
There are people that watch things happen. -
There are people that wonder what happen. -
And there are people that don't know anything happen.
God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes, but everybody who looks at it sees something different.
Rabbi Harold Kushner | The university professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?"
A student bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil".
The student became quiet before such an answer.
The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question, professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"
The students snickered at the young man's question.
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460° F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."
The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present." Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sat down.
The young man's name ............Albert Einstein  It is best, it seems to me, to separate one's inner striving from one's trade as far as possible. It is not good when one's daily break is tied to God's special blessing." -- Albert Einstein Timekeeping has been both a lens through which humanity has observed the heavens and a mirror reflecting the progress of science and civilization. At the dawn of the new millennium, the instruments that divide and measure the days on Earth have brought us to a deeper understanding of how it all began. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science. | -- | Albert Einstein
